Playing Cupid (2021 TV Movie)
5/10
Just an "okay movie"
23 May 2023
Kerri is a middle school teacher who has a boyfriend who doesn't deserve her, and once she breaks up that relationship she starts hanging out with David, Clara's (one of her students) father.

At the same time, Clara is assigned a marketing project worth 40% of her grade: and because she matched up a couple, she starts a matchmaking service.

Look, is it cute? Yes. Is it realistic? Maybe. I don't know. I'm not a teacher. But I can appreciate the innovative premise. It says it's based on Jane Austen's Emma which I see but at the same time I don't. The only thing in common is the matchmaking. I feel it's disrespectful to the book.

There was decent chemistry between the actors but I did think the beginning was quite slow. It may be around the minute 35 o 40 that they start talking like they are friends. I can also appreciate the pre-ending problem. That was realistic. Some things are not meant to be or it's not the right time and place. And that's okay. So is this movie.
